YA
In a society divided into genetically superior Priors and lowly Imperfects, Prior ballerina Davis and Imp prizefighter Cole find a dangerous romance. But when Priors get sick due to their genetic alterations and the government covers it up, the two sow the seeds for a revolution. The dystopian/romance series-starter rooted in athleticism is told in alternating perspectives that complicate issues of class.
